Hey Christine,

Nawwww . . . I love those old long C.G. Conn "cornets!" They play incredibly well when new or restored! I love my '39 80A Victor!

NICE "Short model" Victor, BTW . . . along with your 22B.

I'll try to shoot some photos this weekend of my '39 80A.

The horn screams, with an very easy blow, wonderful intonation, silky smooth valves and accurate slotting and blow well past Double C. There's a great reason this horn (along with the totally different but same looking "New Wonder") were great instruments!

Thanks for posting!

T.

PS: Kinghornplayer . . . haul out that vintage "eye candy!" Vintage is always in the eye of the beholder . . . and 1970s horns like the one you have ARE definate classics!
